Drag any slider and the outcome updates instantly. Outlet temperature is read from a validated AI surrogate of the Terra coupled finite-element solver (Gaussian-process model, R² 0.9997), predicting in <1 millisecond in your browser instead of the minutes a full simulation would take. Heat rate is the thermal power exchanged with the ground, Q = ṁ·cp·ΔT (cp = 4180 J/kg·K), and specific capacity normalises that power per metre of pile. The map plots a cloud of candidate designs sampled across the parameter ranges; your current design is the highlighted marker, which glides as you explore the feasible / high-performance region.
